The "Colonel's" Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Message of the Day and Week!

I love your meme Dave!!!

I expect your dependability, reliability, scrupulous approach to business and personal relationships inspires those who look to you for leadership, advice and counsel. I hope and pray that the LORD cleanses each of us from any impurity which inhibits HIS love from shining through us. No doubt your transparency is increasing and your humility is worthy of emulation. I hope you are motivated to assist, help, and come alongside others in need. I expect you invest time to share your talents and resources with others to improve their knowledge and skills. ‘Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo ourselves in honoring one another. … Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer. Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.’ [Romans 12:10, 12-13 ESV] my brother-in-Christ CWO3 Dave Alcantara.

I pray that each adopted son and daughter of YOUR who reads this prayer or listens to it, takes YOUR definition of love to heart. Empower each of us to live out love as YOU designed love. 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.’ [1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV] I pray that you and I more consistently demonstrate our faith in YOU dear LORD. YOU admonish us that the degree that we demonstrate love for our neighbor as ourselves is a demonstration of our love for YOU. 'If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing well.' [James 2:8 ESV]
I lift deployed service members and other agents deployed in harms way to you LORD as well as their family members. I pray for communication been deployed and those at home, that their spouse and children sleep peacefully each night. I pray that most will be redeployed to home in YOUR perfect timing. I pray that each service member, deployed federal agent, and deployed contractor who is killed or who dies deployed has a personal relationship with YOU before they pass on. ‘How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; [Isaiah 52:7-8a ESV]
I lift service members and veterans with bad memories including nightmares of being deployed to sandy areas of the world including southwest Asia and swamps and jungles including southeast Asia to YOU as well as those who care for them. LORD I pray that YOU deliver those with repetitive nightmares and enable them each to sleep peacefully. ‘Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.’ [Proverbs 3:23-24 ESV]. I pray that you bless each family member and caretaker with an increase of the fruit of God: compassion, goodness and love. 'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.’ [Galatians 5:22-24 ESV]
I pray that each one of us are discerning and wise as the members the Berean church who searched the scriptures [Old Testament] to see of what Paul was saying lined up with God’s Word. when any tries to tell us anything that distorts basic Christian doctrine – especially Jehovah’s Witness, LDS, Word of Faith teachers and all others who have a distorted view of God. ‘Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.’ [Acts 17:11-12 ESV]
As far as unrighteous ‘leaders’ and their sycophants who use dubious methods and language to inspire, motivate, and move people emotionally the LORD is patient in judging them by HIS perfect justice and wrath. 'What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory' [Romans 9:22-24 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Amen Brother Stephen.

Sgt (Join to see) Your always welcome brother Kerry.

Sgt (Join to see) - Nice share today and nice personal quote brother... Hope hat sunshine is still going strong today and hope the forecast is great for the weekend Kerry...

“What message do you want to send? What you say and what you do can make a difference in other’s lives. Character is both formed and revealed by how we communicate and send a message. That reminds me of this quote…

‘Everything you do sends a message about who you are and what you value.’ — Michael Josephson

May you always send the right message and think twice before you deliver it; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
